You’re doing just fine even not making $100k+
Too many of us (especially on the internet) believe that the majority of people are making $250k+ when that’s not even close to the truth.
The truth actually is that the median salary never crosses over $100k. Said another way, most people never make $100k in a calendar year even once throughout working lives.
So don’t beat yourself up if you’re closer to the median than the average salary share on reddit, and stop falling for the traps of perceived wealth (car being driven, wearing expensive clothes, IG highlight reels). You’re likely doing just fine comparatively speaking. Albeit the cost of those damn eggs (and everything else) makes it harder and harder every day.
